Porcelain Veneers in Scottsdale, AZ

Create a Natural-Looking Smile With Custom Porcelain Veneers

At Princess Center Dentistry, we understand how much your smile can influence the way you feel about yourself. If you are unhappy with chips, cracks, spaces, discoloration, uneven tooth shape, or minor alignment concerns, porcelain veneers may provide a way to create a more balanced and natural-looking smile.

We proudly provide personalized cosmetic dental care for patients in Scottsdale and the Phoenix area. Our approach begins with listening to what you want to change about your smile, evaluating your teeth and gums, and discussing your treatment options before recommending porcelain veneers.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-designed shells made from ceramic porcelain that are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of teeth while creating a smile that looks natural and complements your overall appearance.

At Princess Center Dentistry, we work with a trusted laboratory to create customized porcelain veneers. Each veneer is planned with your individual smile in mind rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Porcelain veneers may be used to address several cosmetic concerns, including:

Chips and cracks
Spaces and gaps between teeth
Deep stains or dark discoloration
Minor misalignment
Poor or uneven tooth shape

Our goal is to create veneers that discreetly address the concerns you want to change while maintaining a natural appearance.

How Porcelain Veneers Enhance Your Smile

Address Discoloration

Some deep stains or discoloration may not respond to traditional whitening treatments. Porcelain veneers can provide an option for changing the visible appearance of affected teeth.

If you are primarily concerned with the color of your smile, we can also discuss teeth whitening as part of your cosmetic dental options.

Improve Tooth Shape

Teeth that appear uneven, worn, or disproportionate can affect the overall appearance of your smile. Custom porcelain veneers can be designed to improve the visible shape and proportions of appropriate teeth.

Conceal Minor Imperfections

Chips, cracks, gaps, and other cosmetic imperfections can sometimes be addressed with veneers. During your consultation, we evaluate your teeth and determine whether veneers are an appropriate option for the changes you want to make.

WHY CHOOSE US

The Porcelain Veneers Process

Your veneer treatment begins with a consultation. We want to understand what you like and dislike about your smile and what you hope to accomplish. We evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall mouth structure and discuss the available treatment options. If porcelain veneers are appropriate for you, we can move forward with the planning process.

Once you decide to proceed, we take impressions of your teeth to help create your customized veneers. If preparation of your teeth is necessary, that will be completed as part of this stage. Depending on your treatment, temporary veneers may be used while your custom veneers are being created.

Preparing teeth for porcelain veneers commonly involves removing enamel. Enamel does not grow back, so this preparation is irreversible. We will explain the preparation your teeth need before treatment.

Your porcelain veneers are custom-designed with your smile and treatment goals in mind. We work with a trusted laboratory to create veneers intended to provide a natural-looking result. The shape, appearance, and overall design are carefully considered before the veneers are placed.

Once your custom veneers are ready, we remove any temporary veneers, check the fit and appearance, and bond the final veneers to your teeth. We check your bite and explain how to care for your restorations.

Veneers can chip, wear, or loosen and may need repair or replacement over time. Brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, and keep your recommended dental visits.

Are Porcelain Veneers Right for You?

Porcelain veneers can be an option for patients who want to change the color or appearance of their smile and, in some cases, address slightly crowded teeth.

However, cosmetic treatment should begin with a healthy foundation. If you have tooth decay or gum disease, those concerns may need to be addressed before porcelain veneers are considered.

At Princess Center Dentistry, we begin with an evaluation of your teeth and gums. We may use examination and X-rays when appropriate to better understand your oral health before developing a treatment plan.

Our goal is to make sure porcelain veneers are appropriate for your dental needs rather than recommending cosmetic treatment without first considering your overall oral health.

Porcelain Veneers vs. Teeth Bonding

Patients sometimes ask whether porcelain veneers or dental bonding is the better option. These treatments work differently.

Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of appropriate teeth. dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin that is applied directly to the tooth and shaped to improve its appearance.

Neither option is automatically right for every patient. During your consultation, we can evaluate your teeth and discuss which treatment may best fit your cosmetic goals and dental needs.
